Hostel with great location and amazing rooftop!I was traveling with a friend and we both liked the hostel a lot. The location is perfect, it's located right next to the cathedral and there is bus stop of the turisbus right in front of the hostel. The breakfast is really amazing! Chilaquiles, eggs, frijoles, toast, coffee, orange juice ... and the breakfast is on the rooftop, where you have an amazing view.— Lisa, age 20, Austria (2014-04-18)

Great hostel, perfect location, friendly staff, clean, and safe!This hostel is well run, with friendly staff, and in great location. Close to metro and walking distance to everything. Free breakfast on rooftop is a bonus, better than most hostels, or even hotels continental breakfast. The rooms are clean and safe. I've been 3 separate times and will return again. Disliked nothing.— Elysia, age 37, American (2014-04-03)

Couldn't have asked for more!I was a little nervous as it was my first time in Mexico. I shouldn't have been though as the staff at this hostel really were its best asset -- they made me feel at home from the very beginning. These folks know what backpackers are after -- free walking tours (shout out to the wonderful Fernando!), cleanliness, decent free breakfast (scrambled eggs, beans, toast, fruit, yoghurt, tea, coffee), very secure, amazing rooftop bar with cheap drinks (Carol's mojitos!!!) and great social atmosphere making it easy to meet like-minded travelers from all over the world. Location is equally ideal -- right near the metro and at least half a dozen main attractions. I ended up staying 1.5 weeks more than intended and wouldn't stay anywhere else when next I am in Mexico City.— Kira, age 25, Australian (2014-01-08)

Highly recommendClose to the Metro, safe enough, easy to reach to tour spot, and the front desk staff are good at English and Spanish.— Zhiyi, China (2013-03-25)

Good hostel. We were impressedThis place is good. We had a private room ensuite. It was clean, secure. Staff helpful. And fairly quiet. Would definitely recommend.— Nicky, British (2012-09-13)

BEST PLACE IN MEXICO CITYOut of the hostels in downtown, this is by far the best option. Unbeatable location, very clean and well managed. Amazing rooftop terrace. I keep coming back.— Anonymous, NZ (2012-01-03)

Too Noisy for me!The Hostel is in a great location and offered free breakfast and dinner and free tour round the city in a deal and the rooms were clean but thats where the fun ends. The bar is open til 10 p.m. on ground floor with the noise from the music spreading all round the hostel. Then when this closes the music on the sixth floor terrace bar was so loud on first floor that we couldnt get to sleep and the bar is open until 2 a.m.! Always check about this before considering staying here. If you want to party, it is a great place. but if you want a good nights sleep, then avoid as youre unlikely to get to sleep!— Mari, Argentinean (2009-06-19)

I stayed in Hostel Cathedral and I will never forget it. Everybody was so awesome and nice. It is truly charming and unforgettable. The only reason why I did not give it 5 stars is the bar closes quite early. (Other than that it was clean and very affordable.)— Michelle (2005-09-01)
